| This anime is totally over for me after this episode. Holy shit. I can't stand that many black bars in an anime. It's just bad. |
 |
| I'll join you. I hate the shit out of the black-out-this-part-of-the-screen. There's a rating system. Why not just use it? Also... THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF THE FIRST EPISODE OF ELFEN LIED (and various other scenes). If that can exist, why can't this? Why can't Tokyo Ghoul? Normally I wouldn't be all rant-y but it's one thing to see those stupid black screen blockers in ONE SHOW. To see it in another show, to think it's becoming some kind of trend is...NO. Do. Not. Want. Lastly... Does anyone actually own uncensored Blu-rays or DVDs which have been black shadow censored? I keep hearing people say, "I'll just wait for the Blu-ray," but are those really going to be uncensored? Are they really going to have the black screen blockers removed? |

There's a rating system. Why not just use it? deathbyglitter said: Different time. It also could have been the DVD/BD version that you saw for those. Series are only censored for the TV broadcast because they can't show that on TV unless it's on select stations. You probably weren't watching Elfen Leid as it aired unlike with Terra Formers or Tokyo Ghoul.Also... THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF THE FIRST EPISODE OF ELFEN LIED (and various other scenes). If that can exist, why can't this? Why can't Tokyo Ghoul? deathbyglitter said: A trend called TV doesn't let you show everything. Yeah it's a new one. Gore porn was being shown on PBS years ago.Normally I wouldn't be all rant-y but it's one thing to see those stupid black screen blockers in ONE SHOW. To see it in another show, to think it's becoming some kind of trend is...NO. Do. Not. Want. deathbyglitter said: If they're uncensored then why would there be a black shadow? YES THEY WILL BE BECAUSE THE BARS ARE THERE BECAUSE OF TV BROADCAST RULES. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST OR THE LAST TIME GORE OR NUDITY WILL BE CENSORED ON TV.Lastly... Does anyone actually own uncensored Blu-rays or DVDs which have been black shadow censored? I keep hearing people say, "I'll just wait for the Blu-ray," but are those really going to be uncensored?

It's just bad. I'm inclined to agree with you, considering that the gore and deaths seem like they're going to be a pretty big part of this show, but you have to take into consideration that this is being aired on television, so it has to at least try to be appropriate for most viewers. However, I can't say I like the idea of entire scenes not being visible at all because of their content. I mean, why air it at all if one of the focal points of the show is going to be censored to hell? |

| Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |
elros75 said: Why so much censorship, aren't these shows airing in the middle of the night anyway? Some TV networks are just that kind of stupid and anal about everything,no matter if they air late at night or if they are rated R.Now there a lot of censorship laws in good old quack land Japan but that still doesn't excuse it. Its really hard to understand that if you're supper picky about censoring anything remotely resembling nudity or violence then how about not fucking accepting series that have nudity and violence in your time slot? Now ofc not every network is like that which makes it that much confusing. |

| I was awaiting a dumb splatter show but all I get is the dumb. This shit is less than worthless. |
| What are black bars? Censorship? >< I didn't notice any. |
| I'm really conflicted. I want to see this, but if the whole show, which is suppoed to be violent (?) is going to be as censored as ep 1, I dont know if I'll continue watching. I doubt that this is going to be popular enough for someone to buy and sub the DVD/BR. |
| Yeah the censoring is pretty bad and maybe even worse than Tokyo Ghouls. But I wonder if either of those shows will ever have an uncensored version. |

| i think mal dummies think HBO is normal tv. You cant show gore in japan at 1 am. you cant show gore >anywhere on cable at any time. |
| I don't understand why the censoring is a problem. I didn't even notice it. Do you really need to see an explicit scene to know what's happening? Does it really add to the value for you? |

Does it really add to the value for you? Censoring will become a problem if the whole point of the show is being censored (its like a hentai being censored until you can not see any sex scenes). It lost its beauty. I don't even know what anime i watch anymore. So many black bar and some scenes turn black the whole screen. Its pretty annoying. The viewers will failed to understand how much fear that the terraformars brought to the annex 1 crews. They only see pretty images and suddenly people lying on the floor. Move on... My humble opinion. I suppose that's true, if you're only watching a show because you expect it to be gory and uncensored. As people who watch hentai aren't watching for the plot or anything but sexually stimulating scenes to get off on usually. For me personally though, I never even noticed the censoring in Tokyo Ghoul (well I did a bit in the last episodes of Tokyo Ghoul) nor Terra Formars until it was pointed out to me. Maybe it's because I'm not hyper-critical, but to me it's no big deal at all. I could still sense the danger and fear and understand the situation, as I said I never even noticed the censoring. Maybe it depends on the person I guess... but I think "they only see pretty images and suddenly people lying on the floor" is a bit of an exaggeration; I don't think it's ever unclear what's going on. |

| The censoring is annoying, but what are you gonna do? I just deal with it. It's not like the censoring is going to change the story in any way, nor is it actually part of the show. It's the channel it broadcasts on. I'm not going to miss out on a good sci-fi series just because of censoring. That's lame. |
 |
| Oh, yes. The censoring is so annoying. I can cope with it, but honestly, it goes on my nerves ><" |
 |
| ohh boy, there goes the rating of this show.. Its a sci fi with action and the later being more of the two since now they have landed on mars.. its just going to be bam bam from here on and if you censor so much that you dont even know whose head came of of or whose antenna got cut off for which you play a guessing game all the time and in the end drop a cliffhanger as if the whole episode didnt already turn into one bcoz of censoring, i dont know where its going from here on and people who are saying they are fine with it dont actually mean it, its obvious at least to me. |

Lil-Bird said: ShaneFlame said: Can't be a space sci-fi without black holes.Bars? Tseh. This made me actually laugh.Good one. And I do agree that I find the censorship irritating and ridiculous but moaning won't get me nowhere and that is about all I can do about it. |
| I liked this anime, but it will be on-hold till uncensored version for me :/ |
dperolio said: I don't understand why the censoring is a problem. I didn't even notice it. Do you really need to see an explicit scene to know what's happening? Does it really add to the value for you? There's nothing wrong with censorship IF it's done tastefully. I don't need to see the bloody remains or someone's head getting ripped off. Blood splattering while the actual scene is done off screen? Okay. But with Terra Formars, that's not the case. They literally place black screens everywhere to the point that you can't even tell what the hell is going on. The same thing happened with TG, which is why I just decided to just read the manga for both anime instead. And you can't be serious about there being no black squares lol. |

There's plenty of networks that can show gore in America. AMC does. So do a few others. Cable TV can do whatever they want here technically, but they are reliant on advertisers which often dictate the type of content which can happen. http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2d2gzg/eli5_why_tv_shows_like_the_walking_dead_can_have/ |

| ya, ive been wondering why its ok to black out half the show. If you know your going to have to censor it, just show something else, or change the scenes so that you dont half to look directly at the mature content. |

lunaticsrus said: What do you mean something else? And they don't want to change the scene because that's how the scene is supposed to be, how it was in the manga. The censoring is only there for the tv broadcast, it won't be on the DvDs or BDs.ya, ive been wondering why its ok to black out half the show.

| Okay... Just watched ep. 3. Have to admit, the censoring was a bit stupid. |
| *balls not bars |
| Eh I was delaying watching this anyway due to uni stuff and it isn't a high priority so I guess I'll just wait for the BDs. |
 |
| those black bars and circles makes me laugh xD |
